TORONTO – Text messaging enthusiasts can now experience more email-type features thanks to the introduction of Rogers’ Extreme Text Messaging service.
Designed to increase convenience and functionality, the new service allows customers to personalize their texting experience by adding a personal signature, setting up distribution lists, blocking text messages from specific telephone numbers, and forward texts automatically to another phone number.
"People want to stay connected with their friends and family, any time, any place and texting is on the rise as is the personalization of communications," said Raj Doshi, VP of mobile product management, in the announcement. "The Rogers Extreme Text Messaging service is designed to help make texting more personal by bringing new individualized features to our customers’ plans and making the experience as easy to use as email."
Rogers’ customers with existing text bundles, packs or plans will be able to use Extreme Text Messaging at no additional charge.
